Soapgeist's Fearless Predictions
TVGCanada's Nelson Branco's newest Soapgeist is up, featuring Mimi Torchin.
According to the Soapgeist, things look bleak in negotiations between Steve Burton (Jason) and GH. Will a Taylor and Tad (Beth Ehlers and Michael Knight) change the direction going downward her time on the show?
His ATWT fearless Prediction: Riley start his own man-bra line. However I think hunky newcomer Hunter (Evan Alex Cole) would do a better job at that. That would be wonderful for my new and possibly only 'World Turns' guilty pleasure.
Also in the latest Soapgeist it seems as if contract negotiations seem bleak for GH and Steve Burton (Jason). Branco has nothing but praise for my Molly Burnett (Melanie, DAYS) and the premier upcoming triangle between Philip (Jay Johnson), Melanie,
Nathan (Mark Hapka), and Stephanie (Shelley Hennig). I also like that he said that Burnett, who some used to call a hair model with too much airtime, is soaring in roles opposite her cast members.
I also enjoy that Nathan has been paired with Melanie, a good start to his soap career, to boost both of their characters. Branco also
keeps showing the love for OLTL's Shennell Edmonds (Destiny) and GH's Drew Garrett (Michael) and this week even Eddie Alderson (Matthew, OLTL). Any OLTL fan, non-watchers, or wannabe watchers definitely need to see the Soapgeist's 10 reasons to watch OLTL.
I personally want to find the script writer responsible for writing Y&R's John Driscoll (Chance) and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe)'s lines today during the conversation. I added "during their conversation" because Hendrickson was brilliant as usual today in her scenes with Billy, Jill and Mac. The audacity to have Hendrickson say "Your return was like something out of a reality show" was outrageous. If it were from a reality show, they would have been some wine glass throwing, yelling, and Nina and Kay, and Thom Bierdz's Phillip (still waiting to give a chance) screaming at the top of their lungs. But instead it was shaking hands and "Nice to meet you". I was expecting it to get
Maury in the Chancellor Mansion, but instead it was more like a Lame Oprah ripoff. If only Hendrickson's Chloe were in the room to shout "Who's that" we got have gotten the ball rolling. Branco writes of the storyline flop a bit in the Soapgeist, and so did Jamey Giddens in his latest Daytime Confidential editorial, hoping that this was just an off week and Y&R is back to par as usual next week. Well, you know perfection has a few bumps in the road all the time! But perhaps Clementine Ford (Mac) can show me something if she's away from Billy, because I can't help but notice some flames in that toaster oven between she and Daniel Goddard (Cane), but I will dare not break up my Lane for anyone! Once Amber and Deacon jump the broom again, how about Mac and Daniel (Michael Grazcantspellhislastname)?

John Driscoll at Y&R
John Driscoll (Chance, Y&R) goes behind the scenes at his first few days on the show. It shows him on set shooting his first scene with Daniel Goddard (Cane), Jess Walton (Jill), Tricia Cast (Nina) and Jeanne Cooper (Kay). He also rehearses lines with his good friend Billy Miller (Billy) and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe), who looks like she has longer hair like her days as AMC's Frankie/Maggie. I like it!! As it seems as Cane/Billy/Chloe/Lily (Christel Khalil) has cooled off, and pushing Chance into a triangle with Billy and Chloe and possibly Mac (Clementine Ford), would be superb! Y&R doesn't have a past of this, but I hope they do good with this character as they usually do with others, and don't write him into a corner by improvising the "gay dad" storyline with Thom Bierdz (Phillip).

Y&R Editorial: Chronicling Thoughts on Phillip Storyline & Other Notes
When this news first broke of this again retcon storyline, I was hesitant of it. I had begun to know Daniel Goddard's Cane Ashby as Phillip Chancellor III. But for a long while, the character Cane had ridden through the paradise of not having many troubles on the show, except for the Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) baby-bump up. But more and more as I am beginning to see this on screen, and read up about it, the more I think I may enjoy this recent turn of events. I'm even moving toward perhaps accepting a P3/Rafe pairing, only because I realized how great Thom Bierdz (Phillip) is, but I said accepting, not approving, as this is still a ludacris pairing. But now I see how a hunk Bierdz is, and somewhat more appealing than Daniel Goddard, not to say I don't like him either.
As you die-hard DG fans would see this as an insult as I saw all Chris Engen bashes as insults. But this is interesting to have Phillip III gay, instead of automatically going with the younger, Phillip "Chance" Chancellor IV (John Driscoll). It seems a trend now to make the few out actors in daytime portraying gay characters, at Y&R is with Bierdz and One Life to Live with Scott Evans (Oliver Fish). However with making Phillip gay, I wonder how the storyline will be carried out sooner or later when all this fizzles out, because you know if he is with Rafe (Yani Gellman), I won't be able to take it for long. But this is one drawback I have with same-sex stories on soaps. The story starts off with a central character coming out, and a not-known secondary character being introduced, and them in a pairing. However this becomes boring and as with AMC's Bianca (Eden Riegel) she comes to town again over and over with a different partner. This hasn't happened with ATWT's Nuke, but as I am, viewers are wondering when something different will happen with them. So I'm hoping MAB and her hot, interesting, and somewhat weird storylines can prevail to make this work.
For today, as a review of the first 15 minutes of Y&R, I'm absolutely loving it, Thom Bierdz, Tricia Cast and Elizabeth Hendrickson. To see Chloe and Lily (Christel Khalil) both pitted against Cane! And speaking of Chloe, does she know nothing!? First she didn't know Mackenzie wasn't raised a Chancellor, then Phillip walks in and she's like "Who's that?" These are tidbits that need to be tweaked. The Phillip/Nina/Kay/Jill scenes were awesome today, and I wish Kay/Jill could still be related, but no, then they couldn't pair the lovers Billy and Mac together. Boo hoo. I'll have more during a recap.
Performer of the Week: Stacy Haiduk (MJ/Patty, Y&R)

If you follow us on Twitter then you know that I was conflicted on deciding the award yesterday. At first, I was sold on the eventual winner, then I thought of a duo that delivered great performances in a saddening situation, and of another mini diva and hunk. But after delivering killer performances already that day, and that week in fact, remembering when she uttered the lines: "Kitty, Where did you put my pills!?", I knew that hands-down, Stacy Haiduk earned the Soaps-Now! Performer of the Week Award for the week of June 29, 2009! The dream sequence in which Patty recollected walking in on Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (then Donelley Rhodes), losing her baby, and shooting Jack three times was perfect, and the aftermath of it was great. Also not to mention the scene in which she was sorry for hurting Summer, but just had to get her mommy out of the picture!
Other key mentions include the duo of Michelle Stafford and Joshua Morrow (Nick and Phyllis, Y&R) who at one point thought could challenge Haiduk for this week's prize, but couldn't hold up. Also as usual, Tricia Cast (Nina, Y&R) for delivering her scenes in the Pihllip storyline on Y&R. I was also impressed with General Hospital's teen sensations Drew Garrett (Michael) and Lexi Ainsworth (Kristina), for scenes this week, especially the later. Oh, and don't forget Ms. J. Luner who I thought was not bad at all this week when she gets her baby, and her great scenes with Colby (Brianne Moncrief), and Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe, Y&R), who walked all over Clementine Ford (Mac) this week, who I am forcing myself to enjoy. Laura Wright (Carly, GH) didn't do too bad as a parental unit, and Shelley Hennig (Stephanie, DAYS) is proving she's fantastic pill-popper and can work the screen without bed time with Darin Brooks (ex-Max)! Finally, as you know I thought poor Brett Claywell's Kyle on OLTL was pushed and pulled all over the screen this week because of the whole mess with Roxy, and almost getting trounced by Natalie, then only to see his ex-lover (Shh, your not supposed to know that yet) apparently in another relationship, and he takes a shot to that! Claywell was about the best act this week other than the usual outstanders, Viki, Dorian, Todd, Tea, Starr, and it goes on.

Y&R Preview: The Truth is Revealed
They didn't show the part where Cane gets jacked up by Neil and sucker punched by Billy. But by the look on Neil's face, he was ready! But fans don't worry, Lane is in it for the long go, especially when Lily preps for cancer battle this late summer/fall.

Now these are what you call stunner lookz!
Immediately tomorrow, I'll post my first editorial I've been thinking and pondering over the weekend, thoughts on this storyline, Cane and Phillip III. Read more...
